“Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is a culmination of years of dedication
and exploration, and telling Zau’s story has been a vulnerable and
unforgettable creative endeavor,” said Abubakar Salim, Surgent
Studios founder and BAFTA-nominated actor. “Video games are an
incredible storytelling medium that have the power to transport
players to new realms and evoke powerful emotions through both new
and familiar experiences; bringing Zau’s story to life made me feel
closer to my late father, and honoring our memories together
through this powerful medium has been an absolute blessing. We’re
so thrilled to finally share Tales of Kenzera: ZAU with the world
and hope that players will find as much inspiration, excitement and
healing in the game as we did in bringing it to life.”
In Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, players step into the shoes of Zau, a
warrior-shaman grappling with profound loss as he endeavors to
resurrect his father from the clutches of death. Guided by Kalunga,
the God of Death, Zau navigates mystical 2.5D realms, striving to
harness the cosmic powers of the sun and the moon.
Tales of Kenzera: ZAU takes players on an evocative voyage of
spiritual healing in which resilience in the face of adversity
reveals one’s true character and strength. Featuring stunning
visuals, a stellar cast of talented voice actors and a captivating
soundtrack set to multi-award-winning composer, Nainita Desai's
enchanting original score, Tales of Kenzera: ZAU weaves together
Bantu inspiration and futuristic vibrancy to craft a world brimming
with tales of ancient shamans, sacred spirits and mesmerizing
creatures. Meticulously crafted animation immerses players in the
true power of cosmic energies through the Sun and Moon masks,
engaging in rhythmic combat to vanquish restless spirits.
“Like everyone who meets Abu, I was struck by his passion for
storytelling, his conviction in building his studio and their debut
title Tales of Kenzera: ZAU,” said Jeff Gamon, General Manager,
Electronic Arts Partners. “Surgent Studios has created a
challenging and vibrant platformer with a resonant story of
strength and bravery. We believe that this brilliant EA Originals
title will strike an emotional chord for many players.”
Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is available now in retail and digital
storefronts for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and
PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and EA app for $19.99 USD. The game
will be accessible to players with voiceovers available in English
